The Calor 12kg forklift gas cylinder is the medium FLT bottle most small and mid-size fleets settle on. It runs your LPG forklift trucks cleaner than diesel, with far less fume and odour drifting around the warehouse or yard. At roughly 58cm tall and 30cm across, it’s an easy size for operators to lift, change over and strap back in, and it still holds enough gas to get through a normal shift without constant swaps.
It suits forklifts in warehouses, depots and yards, indoors and outdoors where the space is properly ventilated. If you run a busier site and want longer between changes, the 18kg automotive bottle is the bigger sibling.
We supply it as a refill on a like-for-like exchange, so you’ll need an empty 12kg automotive Calor bottle to swap on delivery. No empty to hand yet? Add a Calor cylinder deposit when you order.

The 13kg Calor propane gas bottle is a proper all-rounder. It’s the bottle people reach for on narrowboats, in catering units and snack vans, and for kit like shrink-wrappers and industrial floor sweepers, anywhere mains gas isn’t an option. Propane handles cold and outdoor use well, which is part of why it’s so widely used.
The cylinder is around 58cm tall and 32cm across, so it balances a decent gas capacity against being easy enough to move and store. It connects with a 37mbar anti-clockwise screw-on propane regulator, the fitting a lot of existing LPG appliances already specify, so it usually drops straight into your setup.

The Calor 18kg forklift gas cylinder is the high-capacity FLT bottle for fleets that can’t keep stopping to change gas. It’s built for automotive propane use and gives a cleaner, more efficient burn than diesel, which cuts fumes and helps keep the air around your site in better shape.
At roughly 82cm tall and 30cm across, it’s a taller cylinder that holds more fuel for longer run times between swaps. It still changes over safely for a trained operator, and it suits busy warehouses, distribution centres and industrial yards where trucks barely stop.

The 19kg Calor propane gas bottle is a workhorse for commercial sites that need a steady, controllable LPG supply. It’s a regular on building sites and with kit like blow air heaters, gas cookers, snack vans and roofing burners, wherever there’s heating, cooking or site equipment to run.
At around 82cm tall and 30cm across, it carries plenty of gas for long runs while staying a manageable size, so you swap cylinders less often without losing heat output. Being propane, it copes with cold and outdoor work where butane would fall short, and it connects through a 37mbar screw-on propane regulator.

The Calor 3.9kg propane gas bottle is the smallest propane cylinder Calor makes, the one to pick when being able to carry it matters more than how long it lasts. It gives a clean, high-temperature flame from a bottle light enough to take to the job rather than haul the job to it.
Most people buying it run small industrial burners and torches, or do light trade and maintenance work where a full-size cylinder would just be in the way. At around 34cm tall and 24cm across, it stores and travels without any fuss.
It connects through a screw-on regulator, so you’ll want a suitable 37mbar screw-on propane regulator to run your appliance. It’s sold as a refill on a like-for-like exchange: hand over an empty 3.9kg Calor cylinder and take a full one. No empty to swap? Add a Calor cylinder deposit and that covers the first bottle.

The Calor 47kg propane gas bottle is the big one, the cylinder you choose when bottled LPG is your main fuel rather than a top-up. Its high capacity makes it a regular for central heating, gas fires, cookers and at holiday parks and static caravan sites, anywhere you need a steady, long-lasting supply.
Standing around 130cm tall and 38cm across, it holds a lot of propane and keeps going for a long stretch, so you change bottles far less often. It’s a sensible choice for off-grid homes, static caravans and commercial premises that want bulk-style propane without installing a permanent tank. Being propane, it’s happy outdoors and in the cold, and it uses a 37mbar screw-on propane regulator.
It’s supplied as a refill on a like-for-like exchange, so you’ll need an empty 47kg Calor bottle to swap, or add a Calor cylinder deposit if you’re starting out.

The Calor 6kg propane gas bottle is a firm favourite with caravan and motorhome owners. It’s compact enough to fit most gas lockers, yet it still holds plenty of propane for cooking, heating and hot water while you’re on the road or pitched up on site.
The cylinder stands around 50cm high with a 26cm diameter, so it stows in leisure vehicles without giving up much storage space. Propane copes with cold and outdoor use, which makes it a dependable choice for touring caravans, motorhomes and smaller holiday units. It connects with a 37mbar screw-on propane regulator.

Thanks to a range of sizes and simple fittings, pretty much anyone can find a setup to suit their needs.
Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver Calor propane gas bottles to my area?
Harringtons deliver bottled gas to a wide range of Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire postcodes from their base near Reading. All deliveries are limited to the defined delivery area, so it’s important to check your postcode before ordering on the site’s delivery area page.
How much does gas bottle delivery cost?
Gas bottle and cylinder deliveries are charged at a nominal fee (currently £5 including VAT) to any address within the delivery area, with deliveries usually made within 2–4 days of placing your order. Same-day or next-day delivery is available in certain postcode zones for an additional charge, shown at checkout.
Do I need an empty Calor cylinder for a refill?
Yes. All Calor propane products on this page are sold as refills, which means you must have an empty Calor cylinder of the same size available for like-for-like exchange. If you don’t have an empty, you’ll be asked to add a Calor cylinder deposit (shown on each product page) before completing your order.
Which size propane bottle should I choose?
Smaller cylinders such as 3.9kg and 6kg are best for portable use, caravans, motorhomes and light industrial burners. The 13kg and 19kg bottles suit catering units, narrowboats, heaters and general commercial use, while the 47kg cylinder is usually chosen for central heating and main off-grid domestic supply. The 12kg and 18kg automotive bottles are specifically designed for LPG forklift trucks (FLT) and shouldn’t be used for domestic appliances.
Can I collect instead of having my gas delivered?
Yes. If you prefer, you can collect gas bottles directly from Harringtons during their stated collection hours, which are typically weekday daytimes. Collections are only available once your order has been placed and confirmed.
